Arrests Made by Ashland
Police for Park Incidents
Asiuana Ulty police are
combating a problem In Lithia
park which they say is far
worse this summer. The prob
lem consists of several reports
of indecent exposure and sim
ilar offenses.
Police Chief Herb Hays said
this week his department has
received eight reports, usually
from women or small chil-
dren, of indecent exposure in
the park during the past three
months. Three arrests have
been made during the period
and Hays said he believes they
have cleared at least five of
the cases.
The first of the arrests was
made Aug. 4 when Ashland
officer observed Keith E
Lockard, 25, of 307 Genessce
St., Medford, performing such
an act.
Lockard, a Southern Ore
gon college graduate who now
teaches school out of state,
was charged with disorderly
conduct (committing an in
decent act) and appeared in
Ashland municipal court the
same day he was arrested.
Muncipal Judge Richard C
Cottle found Lockard guilty
and fined him $50. He also
ordered him to seek psychia
tric care and report back to
' the court on the 15th of each
month for one year.
Lockard was residing in
Medford temporarily while at
tending summer classes at
SOC.
Other Arrests
Tuesday afternoon, city po
lice arrested Marvin D. Math
ewson, 32, Spokane, on a
charge of indecent exposure.
Malhewson, who listed his oc
cupation as a carpet cleaner
pleaded guilty and was sen
tenced to 30 days in jail.
Charles E. Jerome, 40-year-old
Hood River man who is
living in Ashland temporarily
while working on a construc
tion project, was arrested
Aug. 9 on a disorderly conduct
charge. Jerome pleaded in
nocent and requested a jury
trial.
Judge Cottle appeared be
fore the city council Tuesday
night and reported on the
overall problem. He said such
individuals must be discour
aged from using the park for
their activities and indicated
he would be tough on them
when they appeared in court.
Cottle also requested the
council to appoint a judge pro
tem to hear the Jerome case
as he said he had heard so
much about it that he did not
believe he could render an
unbiased verdict.
The council appointed Sam
Davis, Ashland lawyer, to
hear the case. Defending
Jerome will be Robert H.
Grant, Medford lawyer.
Chief Hays told the council
his department has intensified
its efforts to prevent such
cases and officers are now
keeping the park under close
surveillance during daylight
and evening hours. The judge
and police chief made it clear,
however, that none of the re
ports have involved violence
of any kind.
The council agreed with
Cottle and Hays that stronger
efforts are necessary to dis
courage such Individuals from
frequenting the park.
Opposition to Activating
Housing Authority Noted
"I am unalterably opposed
to reactivating the Jackson
County Housing Authority,"
A. R. Manno, Medford hard
ware merchant, stated in a let
ter to the Jackson county
court Wednesday.
Manno said he was opposed
to the proposal of "a special
interest group" as reported in
the Medford Mail Tribune on
Aug. 7. This is "way out lefit
wing socialism," Manno em
phasized.
"This would place an undue
burden on my children and
succeeding generations of tax
payers," Manno wrote,
"I have complete passion
(compassion) for the oldster
who has met with adversity
and firmly feel he should be
cared for in the manner al
ready provided via the agency
of the welfare commission.
"Let us teach our children
the reasons for thrlftiness and
providing for a rainy day Is as
important and true today as
they were when you and I
were children," Manno con
cluded. Council Atki Rtactivation

the RVGA housing committee

Another purpose of the reac

council's committee stated.
